Never Get Done

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

It’s sometimes humbling to compare the time scale of human life with that of other things, like the timescales used by geologists. From the Active Wild website is an article about “Geologic Time Scale With Facts And Examples: What Is It & What Is It Used For? ”. The geologic time scale measures time based on when layers of rock were formed, and “the main units of the geologic time scale, from largest (longest) to smallest, are: eon, era, period, epoch and age. Each corresponds to the time in which a particular layer of rock was formed.” To put the units into perspective, an eon lasts between hundreds of millions to billions of years. And the smallest unit, age, only lasts a paltry thousands to millions of years.

About the author

Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan, November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was a Hong Kong-American martial artist, actor, filmmaker, and philosopher. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy which was formed from Lee’s experiences in unarmed fighting and self-defense—as well as eclectic, Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies—as a new school of martial arts thought. With a film career spanning Hong Kong and the United States, Lee is regarded as the first global Chinese film star and one of the most influential martial artists in the history of cinema. Known for his roles in five feature-length martial arts films, Lee is credited with helping to popularize martial arts films in the 1970s and promoting Hong Kong action cinema.
